It's hard to find a site bragging about its use of XHTML and CSS for layout that doesn't have a style switcher of some sort stuffed into a corner like some unruly hamster.

JVC JX-S777 Audio/Video Switcher
Reviewed 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

Now I initially just linked this review of the JVC JX-S777 so I could run a picture of the thing—I have multiple-interface lust, for real. And while the JX-S777 isn't the sort of thing that will be totally future-proof—it's lack of DVI or HDMI HDTV interfaces pretty much guarantee that—if you work with a lot of composite and s-video sources, its ability to convert signals on the fly is pretty handy as both a video mixer or a home theater router. You can get something with a lot more capability, but probably not for $600.

That said, what's the baddest of the asses in video switchers these days?

Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability

Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability 06/22/2005 02:41 AM

Secunia Research has discovered this security vulnerability in several web browsers, including Safari and Internet Explorer on Mac. The vulnerability “…can be exploited by malicious web sites to spoof dialog boxes. The problem is that JavaScript dialog boxes do not display or include their origin, which allows a new window to open e.g. a prompt dialog box, which appears to be from a trusted site. Successful exploitation normally requires that a user is tricked into…

Here's a feature I'd like in a mail client: Wait for Message (WFM). Sometimes I'm expecting a message from someone that I want to make sure doesn't get washed down the spam drain. So, I'd like to specify an address or keywords and have my mail client notify me when it arrives. After I acknowledge receipt of the message, by default it removes the search string from the WFM list. This is like a white list that plays favorites.

Brazil looks to close technology gap
with open source 11/18/2003 01:23 AM

A new policy set in place by the administration of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva aims to move its systems from expensive Microsoft products to a Linux -based platform in order to cut computer costs. Sergio Amadeu, head of Brazil's National Information Technology Institute , also hopes that the move to open source will help ease the digital divide in his country:

[He] argues that the gap between the needy and the wealthy will only deepen unless the poor have easy access to the technology that the rich have at their fingertips, especially in developing countries like Brazil.

IBM has entered into an agreement with the Brazilian government to explore the move to open source.

VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Barnaby Jeans, an IT Pro Advisor at Microsoft Canada, has a new approach to Microsoft advocacy. In the past, Microsoft executives have been reported as describing GNU/Linux as a cancer or communism. Other reports include warnings that corporate users risk being sued, and that the "Pac-Man-like nature" of its licenses may make interoperability between applications harder. The Get the Facts Web site continues these direct attacks, although with greater detail. However, Jeans has a subtler message for corporate customers. In fact, his message is less in what he says than how he says it.
